Environmental Restoration Program Needs• Improve our day-to-day data management

–Data Management in the cleanup program is a complex process

• Installation Restoration Program + Munitions Response Program includes nearly 4000 sites

• About $300 million per year, with nearly $3.0 B Cost-to- Complete (CTC)

• Involves several organizations participating in data collection, assessment, and evaluation of the information.

• Several regional NAVFAC offices (NAVFAC Facility Engineering Commands – FECs)

• Terra Bytes of data, 100s of users!–Previous Conditions

• Data and documents maintained differently between FECs and maintained differently between contractors

• Managing multiple data structures was extremely costly• When new contractors take over, data was lost• Paying for duplicate data

4

Environmental Restoration Program Needs

•Enhance the utilization of data with available tools and technologies

–Visualization and modeling of data for decision-making–Query, analysis and reporting of data–Collaboration with state and federal regulators–Faster availability of the data

•Leverage other data sources–Focus on environmental restoration data–Not in the business of base mapping

The NIRIS Concept - The Data -

•Definition of data needs–Primarily related to field sampling events (i.e. analytical and field data)

•Development of a standardized data structure that will be commonly used by all FECs and support contractors

–Enhance data integrity, and availability–Reduce cost of managing multiple structures

•Compliance with DoD Spatial Data Standard for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment (SDSFIE)

–Facilitate integration with other data systems

7

The NIRIS Concept - Processes and Tools -

•Process and Tools for inputting and managing data in the system

–NIRIS Electronic Data Deliverables (NEDD)–Labs, Contractors–Data QA/QC

•Process and Tools for utilizing data–Web based tools for collaboration, querying, analysis, reporting, and visualization of data

–Export data to other applications – GMS, SURFER, etc.

8

NIRIS Concept

• Central management of all Navy and Marine Corps ER project data, documents and records

– Environmental sample data– Munitions Response / Unexploded

Ordnance Data– Spatial Data– Land Use Control Data– Documents and Reports

• Tools to use data e.g., GIS• Tools and policies to ensure only

quality data gets loaded– NIRIS Electronic Data Deliverabel

(NEDD) – Data Checker

NIRIS Components

NIRIS database• Stores tabular (analytical) data• Stores ER specific spatial data

Tools to upload data• Data Checker• Validates NIRIS Electronic Data Deliverables (NEDDs)

Tools to extract and visualize data • Query Tool (Analytical data) • Web GIS (ArcIMS)• Other tools (GMS, SADA, Surfer)

Environmental Document Management System (EDMS)• Administrative Record, Post Decision, and Site File documents

11

NIRIS Database – Navy Specific

Main component of NIRIS database• Tabular

– Updated daily (transactional)– Oracle 10g– Stores all ER data– Audit schema

• Spatial– Dynamically updated based on tabular– Database Link between tabular and spatial– Audit table to track changes, including deletions– Automatically triggered when tabular updated

12

Network Components – Navy Specific

•Spatial data is managed using:– Oracle 10G Enterprise (10.1.2) Geodatabase– ESRI ArcSDE (Spatial Database Engine) V9.1 – Separate schema for each regional State Plane Coordinate

System– All schema use NAD 83 – !!Navy Marine Corps Intranet(NMCI) Compliant!!

Data Checker: • Web based• Ensures only complete data sets of know quality get loaded• Flags potential errors for data submitter• Not data validation

NIRIS Ensures Only Quality Data is Loaded

15

NEDD General Information

Submittal standard for contractors loading ER data

Approximately 50 tables - 10 will be commonly used

Specify precision, format for data fields

Example NEDD tables:– Analytical Result– Borehole– Groundwater level– Sample– Quality Control

SOP for use

Summary

21

Visualization Tools - Mapping

•WebGIS–ESRI ArcIMS, preset functionality–Easy access–Data is dynamically updated–Only works over intranet

•Desktop GIS via Citrix (eGIS)–ArcGIS 9.1, all the features you learned with customized tools–Citrix account required–May be used online, or data export allows data to be used in desktop GIS

–Not dynamically updated, but RPM can request update

Interoperability

Invested in Interoperability early on:•Key ID fields from other enterprise databases•Centralized, Uniform database•Spatial Data Standard complianceInteroperability allows:• Sharing, leveraging of data

– Asset Management Business Line: Regional Shore Installation Management System (RSIMS)

– NIRIS provides ER data e.g., IR site boundaries, Land Use Controls

– RSIMS provides base boundaries, buildings•Roll up of ER program data

– GeoReadiness Repository

Summary

NIRIS uses common business practices to manage, access, and view NAVFAC Environmental Restoration (ER) Program information:

IRP and MRP analytical and spatial data

Documents (including the Administrative Record, Post Decision, and Site Files)

Using GIS and web-based applications in a consistent and cost-effective manner
